Responsibilities Include:

• Test Infrastructure & Development: Collaborating with hardware and software teams to standardize testing across the organization. You will design the testing architecture and infrastructure, build automated frameworks, and maintain the comprehensive test suites (automated and manual) that validate our robotics software and firmware.
• Subsystem Validation: Leading the planning and validation of new subsystems. You will work closely with hardware teams to test prototypes, compile data, and execute on feedback to drive design improvements.
• System Integration: Partnering with Hardware, Software, and Field Engineering to plan and execute full-system integration tests within our manufacturing clusters.
• Debugging & Issue Resolution: Investigating, reproducing, and resolving errors across the full system. You will collaborate with Field Engineering to triage failures, analyze logs to identify root causes, and validate fixes through targeted testing to ensure continuous operation.
• Quality Assurance & Strategy: Contributing to test planning, documentation, and reliability metrics to ensure the scalability and long-term stability of our automated systems.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Engineering, or a related discipline.
• 5+ years of professional experience in software test engineering, specifically within robotics or complex electromechanical systems.
• Strong expertise in Python and experience building automated test frameworks from scratch.
• Proven experience planning and validating new subsystems with a detail-oriented mindset.
• Ability to understand and navigate complex system-level tradeoffs between hardware constraints and software flexibility.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills to work effectively across hardware and software teams.

Nice to Haves

• Experience with project management tools (e.g., Jira) to align cross-functional teams and drive testing milestones.
• Hands-on experience with robotics simulation environments (e.g., Isaac Sim, Gazebo) for automated testing.
• Experience working in a regulated industry (e.g., GxP, ISO standards).

Physical & Working Conditions

• Ability to reach, stoop, crouch, and kneel; this specifically includes the need to physically enter, stand, or crouch inside a robotic cluster for testing, debugging, or manual intervention.
• Ability to lift up to 25 pounds (e.g., test fixtures, replacement parts, tools) and lift up to 5 pounds overhead.
• Manual dexterity required for using hand tools, cabling, and making mechanical adjustments.
• Work is split between a standard office setting and a manufacturing/lab area. When working in the manufacturing area, adherence to safety protocols and awareness of surroundings is required.
• Occasional proximity to hazardous materials (e.g., biological agents, cryogenic materials) may occur during specific cell testing validation phases, though direct handling is rare.
• Ability to wear Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), including lab coats, safety glasses, and gloves, when accessing specific lab or manufacturing zones.
• This role generally follows a standard schedule but may necessitate occasional evening or weekend work to support critical cluster integration milestones or time-sensitive troubleshooting.
